If the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the distance covered by an object in a certain time period. It is also known as velocity. The formula of speed is as follows:

Speed=Distance/ Time.

<h3>How to calculate speed?</h3>

We have been given that the speed of stream is 7miles per hour.

Let v be the speed of the boat, and t the time to travel

98=t*(7+v) (1)

49=t(v-7) (2)

(1)+(2) => 2tv=147

7t+(49+7t)=98

14t+49=98

14t=49

t=49/14

t=7/2

Put the value of t in equation 1 to get the value of v:

98=t(7+v)

98=7/2(7+v)

196/7=7+v

28=7+v

v=28-7

v=21

Hence if the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = {x : x is a real number between 2 and 7}

{x: 3,4,5,6}

Q = {x : x is all rational number between 2 and 7}

{4 }

We know that P contains all the rational numbers between 2 and 7.

And P ∪ Q and Q ∪ P each of them contain all the real numbers which are between 2 and 7.

{3,4,5,6}

Here Q is the proper subset of P

P ∩ Q = Q ∩ P = Q= {4}

Alla [95]
The answer is <span>C. 9/25.

There are in total 25 marbles:
6 green + 9 red + 7 white + 3 black = 25 marbles.

There are 9 red marbles of the total 25 marbles. You can draw 9 red Thus, the probability of drawing a red marble out of the bag is 9 out of 25, which is 9/25.</span>

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. 2^5 • 2^x
umka21 [38]
When you multiply exponential expressions that have the same base, you simply add the exponents. This is true for both numbers and variables. When you include other numbers in the multiplication, you simply factor and break the expression into several multiplications.
2^5 * 2^x= 2^(5 + X)
